Who We Assist in Franklin Town

Our services address the legal needs of:

  • Young families naming guardians and protecting assets
  • Long-time residents preparing to transition wealth to heirs

  • Local business owners planning succession or asset transfers
  • Individuals with complex assets including second homes or inherited property

Understanding the Importance of Estate Planning

Without legal documents, Massachusetts law decides asset distribution, guardians for minor children, and financial guardians during incapacity. This may not reflect your values or protect your loved ones effectively.

An estate plan drafted by our legal team allows you to:

  • Retain control over property and healthcare decisions
  • Minimize probate delays and related costs
  • Reduce the risk of family disputes by clarifying your intent
  • Appoint guardians or agents to make critical decisions
  • Preserve legacy and assets for future generations
  • Plan for aging, incapacity, and long-term care

Our process is structured and transparent:

  1. Initial consultation (free) - We discuss your goals and explain options.
  2. Information gathering - We identify assets, family structure, and future questions.
  3. Draft documents - We prepare wills, trusts, powers of attorney, and health care directives.
  4. Review meeting - Together, we verify all details and adjust as needed.
  5. Execution - We guide you through signing, witnessing, and notarization per Massachusetts law.

    “I highly recommend Marsden Law for anyone dealing with the financial (and emotional) needs of caring for an elder parent.”

    My family and I are just starting the Medicaid application process for our Mom, who is now on Long Term Care. Marsden Law is handling all of this for us. After our first meeting with Jay, we went away with a much clearer understanding of how we need to proceed to take care of all of our Mom’s future financial needs. Jay took the time to explain everything in great detail and made it easy for us to understand what we need to do going forward. Applying for Medicaid is an overwhelming process, to say the least, and we have the utmost confidence in Jay and his team, that they will be there for us, through the entire process. I highly recommend Marsden Law for anyone dealing with the financial (and emotional) needs of caring for an elder parent.
